Description: The Workforce
Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) (Pub. L.
105–220) provides the framework for a
network of State workforce investment
systems designed to meet the needs of
the nation’s businesses, job seekers,
youth, and those who want to further
their careers. Title I of WIA requires that
States develop five-year strategic plans
for this system, which must also contain
the detail plans required under the
Wagner-Peyser Act (29 U.S.C. 49g). Plan
modifications to the WIA title I and
Wagner-Peyser Act (29 U.S.C. 49g) are
required by WIA 20 CFR 661–230.
Section V provides States the option of
submitting a State Unified Plan. The
State Unified Plan was previously
cleared under OMB Control Number
1205–0407 and is now being combined
with this request for clarity and because
they are so closely related in scope and
requirements. For additional
information, see the related notices
published at Volume 73 FR 24613
through 24614 on May 5, 2008.
